Great tours and guide by Mathilda! - We had a wonderful tour of the British Museum and the National Gallery by Mathilda. She was very well informed, personable and spoke with passion and interest. Both venues have so much to see but Mathilda gave us a good overview and then focused with great knowledge on many key parts of both. We recommend the tour and Mathilda as a guide! Erik and Hope

Great tour of British Museum - Great time with our guide, Ivo. Very knowledgeable across a number of subjects, gave us a broad survey of various areas of the British Museum. Was a pleasure to talk with, answered the kids questions readily, even on things he wasn’t planning to guide us on. Also wasn’t rushing out at the end and took a couple extra minutes with us. Overall great experience.

A Must Do! - Jake was a fantastic tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable and readily able to answer any and all questions. We had actually been to the British Museum (solo) about six years ago and please know that a guided tour is the way to go! We saw and understood way more than before. The National Gallery part of the tour was superb as Jake had written his dissertation on Vasquez. Perfect experience!
